“Gifted students learn differently and tend to thrive in environments that challenge their thinking in ways a typical classroom might not,” said Representative Bolick. “I am looking forward to diving into the topics of gifted funding and gifted educational needs, and exploring options to meet the needs of this student population.”

“As Chair of the Senate Committee on Education, I’m looking forward to serving on this study committee and helping play a role in finding the best way to provide an education for gifted students,” said Senator Allen. “The committee will learn about specific approaches schools are taking to teach gifted students, as well as other methods and solutions that can be used to fit their unique educational needs.”
